The Immortal Emperor Reborn: Accompanying My Child on the Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 214: The Legendary Artifact

Just as Yun Che and his companions were about to reach the legendary artifact, the ancient guardian beast dormant deep within the ruins suddenly awakened! This beast, a massive beast, emanated an aura of endless terror, like a demon crawling from the abyss, inspiring awe. It roared to the heavens, sending rubble flying throughout the ruins. Then, like a violent storm, it pounced upon Yun Che and his companions.

Seeing this, Yun Che and the others' expressions suddenly changed. They all used their skills to narrowly avoid the monster's first attack. However, the monster didn't seem to be willing to give up. It roared again, and its massive body left a trail of afterimages in the air, launching an even more fierce attack on Yun Che and the others.

"Everyone, be careful!" Yun Che shouted, and the long sword in his hand instantly burst into a dazzling light, engaging in a fierce battle with the monster. However, the monster was too powerful, and even if Yun Che and others joined forces, they could hardly gain the upper hand.

"This won't work. We must find its weakness!" Mu Xuanyin said anxiously.

Yun Che nodded in agreement. As he engaged the monster, he carefully observed its every move. Finally, during a fierce collision, he noticed something unusual about the monster's eyes. Whenever it attacked, they would flash a strange red light.

“Everyone, pay attention! Its weakness might be its eyes!” Yun Che shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their attention on the monster's eyes. In the next exchange, Yun Che deliberately exposed a flaw, luring the monster toward him. Just as the monster was about to pounce, he suddenly swung sideways, the longsword in his hand piercing the monster's eyes like lightning.

With a "whoosh!" sound, the long sword accurately pierced the monster's left eye. The monster roared in pain, and its huge body rolled several times in the air before falling heavily to the ground.

"Success!" Yun Che and the others cheered upon seeing this.

However, before their joy had faded, the demon beast unexpectedly stood up again. This time, its left eye was blind, and its entire body was staggering. But its remaining right eye was flashing with an even more frantic light, as if it wanted to completely devour Yun Che and the others.

"Oh no, it's going crazy!" Mu Xuanyin's face changed drastically and she quickly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che and the others dared not be careless and once again focused their attention on the attack. Sure enough, the demonic beast roared once more and pounced on Yun Che and the others like a madman. This time, its attack was even more ferocious, as if it wanted to tear Yun Che and the others into pieces.

Yun Che and the others didn't dare to relax for even a moment, unleashing all their might in a final battle with the demon beast. After a fierce battle, they finally relied on their tenacious perseverance and excellent coordination to successfully slay the demon beast within the ruins.

After the battle, Yun Che and the others collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Although they had successfully defeated the monster, the whole process left them with lingering fear.

“I didn’t expect the guardian beast of this relic to be so powerful.” Yun Che sighed.

"Yes, if we hadn't joined forces, we would have died at its hands long ago," Mu Xuanyin echoed.

At this moment, a strong tremor suddenly erupted from within the ruins. Yun Che and the others' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this, wondering what had happened.

“Oh no! The ruins are about to collapse! Let’s get out of here!” Yun Che shouted.

Hearing this, everyone did not dare to hesitate at all, and used their physical skills to rush towards the exit of the ruins. However, at this moment, a figure suddenly blocked their way.

"You want to leave? Not that easy!" the figure said coldly.

Yun Che and the others took a closer look and saw that the man was dressed in a black robe, with a sinister expression and a frightening aura emanating from his body. They were startled, wondering who this black-robed man was.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to stop us?" Yun Che asked sternly.

"Hmph, I am the owner of this relic. You have trespassed into my territory without permission and want to take away my artifact. You are simply courting death!" The man in black robe sneered.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che and the others were even more shocked. It turned out that this relic actually had an owner, and they had been completely unaware of it before.

“Hmph, so what even if you are the master of this ruin? Since we have come here, we will definitely not return empty-handed!” Yun Che shouted and rushed towards the black-robed man again.

However, the black-robed man was incredibly powerful, and even if Yun Che and the others joined forces, they could hardly gain the upper hand. After a fierce exchange, they were all knocked to the ground by the black-robed man.

"Hmph, you think you can fight me? You really are overestimating yourself!" The man in black robe sneered.

At this moment, the vibrations within the ruins grew stronger, as if they could collapse at any moment. Seeing this, the black-robed man's expression darkened. He knew that if he continued to delay, he, too, would likely perish within the ruins.

"Hmph, you're lucky! I'll let you go this time!" The man in black robe snorted coldly, then turned and walked towards the depths of the ruins.

Yun Che and the others heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Although they hadn't been able to obtain the divine weapon, at least they had saved their lives. They supported each other and stood up, preparing to leave the ruins, which were fraught with danger.

However, at this moment, the exit of the ruins was suddenly sealed. Seeing this, Yun Che and the others once again felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"Oh no, we're trapped!" Mu Xuanyin said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che and the others' expressions changed drastically. They knew that if they couldn't leave the ruins in time, they would probably die here.

“Don’t worry, everyone. We will definitely find a way to leave here!” Yun Che said with forced calmness.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a violent tremor erupted from within the ruins. Immediately afterwards, cracks began to spread across the walls, seemingly threatening to devour the entire ruins.

“Oh no! The ruins are about to collapse! Let’s find a place to hide!” Yun Che shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone scattered and fled, looking for a place to hide. However, in this dangerous ruin, where could there be a safe place?

Just when they were in despair, a ray of light suddenly emanated from the depths of the ruins. Yun Che and the others were delighted upon seeing this, wondering what that light could be.

“Everyone, follow me!” Yun Che shouted, and took the lead and ran towards the direction of the light.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the source of the light. There they saw a massive gate of light, emitting a soft glow. Upon seeing this, Yun Che and the others rushed into the gate without hesitation.

As their figures disappeared into the light gate, the entire ruins finally collapsed. Huge rocks rolled down, completely sealing the entrance to the ruins. Yun Che and the others were lucky enough to pass through the light gate and arrived in a completely new world.

"Where are we?" Mu Xuanyin looked around and asked in surprise.

Yun Che also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. However, an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart, as if this new world concealed some kind of opportunities and challenges.

“No matter where this place is, we must proceed with caution.” Yun Che warned.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that in this unknown new world, only by acting cautiously could they avoid danger.

Over the next period of time, Yun Che and his companions carefully explored this new world while searching for a way to return to the world of cultivation. In the process, they encountered various challenges and opportunities, and also made many like-minded friends.

However, just as they were gradually adapting to life in this new world, a sudden piece of news plunged them into a deep crisis. It turned out that not long after they left the world of cultivation, a powerful foreign enemy invaded the world of cultivation, attempting to overthrow the peace and order of the world of cultivation.

“What? The world of cultivation has been invaded?” Yun Che was shocked upon hearing this.

"Yes, and the situation is very serious. If we can't go back as soon as possible, I'm afraid the world of cultivation will really fall into an irretrievable situation." said a well-informed friend.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che and the others all looked solemn. They knew that as members of the cultivation world, they had the responsibility and obligation to protect the peace and tranquility of the cultivation world.

“We must find a way back as soon as possible!” Yun Che said firmly.

However, finding a way back was not easy. They ran around in this new world but could not find any clues. Just when they were desperate, a mysterious old man suddenly appeared before them.

"Are you looking for a way to return to the world of cultivation?" the old man asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che and the others were delighted, wondering who this old man was.

"Yes, that's exactly why we're here." Yun Che replied respectfully.

"Very good, I can tell you how to go back. But before that, you must agree to one condition of mine," said the old man.

"What conditions?" Yun Che asked.

"You must help me defeat a powerful enemy. Only then will I tell you how to go back," said the old man.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che and the others looked at each other, wondering what this old man was up to.

“Old man, what you said is really not very honest.” Yun Che touched his nose, a helpless look on his face. “We don’t even know who your enemy is or how strong he is. How can we help you defeat him?”

The old man smiled slightly, a sly look flashing in his eyes. "Don't worry, I won't let you die. My enemies, though powerful, are not invincible. Moreover, I will give you some clues and help."

“Oh?” Yun Che raised an eyebrow, interested. “What clues and help?”

"First," the old man pointed to the night sky, "Do you know that starry sky?"

Everyone looked in the direction the old man pointed, and saw a sea of ​​stars, like a magnificent painting spread across the sky.

"I know, what's wrong?" Yun Che asked doubtfully.

"That starry sky hides the secrets of the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, and Qimen Dunjia," the old man said mysteriously. "As long as you can comprehend the true meaning within, you will be able to master powerful spells sufficient to defeat my enemies."

"Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, Qimen Dunjia?" Yun Che and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. These terms sounded profound and awe-inspiring, and they made people feel awed.

"That's right." The old man nodded. "I will teach you some basic knowledge, and then you will need to comprehend and master these spells through your own efforts and wisdom."

“But, how can we have so much time?” Yun Che frowned, “We still want to find a way to return home as soon as possible.”

"As for time, you can squeeze it in." The old man said with a smile, "Besides, I promise that once you master these spells, the way to return will naturally become easy."

Although Yun Che and the others were skeptical, seeing the old man's confident look, they had no choice but to believe him for once.

In the following days, the old man began to teach them the basics of the Five Elements, Eight Diagrams, and Qimen Dunjia. From the mutual generation and restraint of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, to the permutations and combinations of the Eight Diagrams, to the various formations of Qimen Dunjia, the old man explained everything in a simple and easy-to-understand way, which benefited Yun Che and the others greatly.

“So, every star in the sky corresponds to an element in the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams!” Yun Che exclaimed in amazement.

"That's right. Moreover, the arrangement and combination of these stars can form various strange formations with infinite power." The old man nodded. "You have only gained a preliminary understanding of this knowledge now. To truly master the spells, you need continuous practice and understanding."
